Well, they merged two threads and in the process mixed up two slightly different discussions, Business v Leisure & Business v Luxury. None of these are mutually exclusive. When I travel for work, my interests in lodging focus on location and dependability. When I stay at a Marriott property, my expectation is set because it's consistent. My routine is set. The rules are understood. The amenities needed while on business trips are available and locations known. A good business hotel to me is one that does not become the fodder for post trip discussion and instead remains anonymous. And that's because it served its purpose (bed and shower) allowing me to focus on business.
